Barents Sea, August 12th, 2000. During a Russian naval exercise, and after suffering a serious accident, the K-141 Kursk submarine sinks with 118 crew members on board. While the few sailors who are still alive barely manage to survive, their families push for accurate information and a British officer struggles to obtain from the Russian government a permit to attempt a rescue before it is late. But general incompetence are against all their efforts.

This claustrophobic thriller shifts focus from the mechanical failure of the vessel to the agonizing uncertainty felt by the families waiting on shore. It captures the frantic, bureaucratic friction between military secrecy and the desperate human need for truth.
